And in the Taurat, We made it obligatory upon them that, “A life (is the retribution) for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is a retribution”; then whoever willingly agrees to retribution, it shall redeem him of his sin; and whoever does not judge according to what is sent down by Allah – it is they who are the unjust.
Barangsiapa memaafkan dan menyedekahkan hak kisasnya terhadap pelaku kejahatan, maka sedekah itu merupakan kafarat yang dapat menghapus sebagian dosanya. Barangsiapa yang tidak menerapkan hukum kisas dan lain-lainnya yang telah ditetapkan Allah, akan termasuk orang-orang yang zalim.
